  This is a lovely soup. I added the fresh coriander in before blending. It has a slight spice kick which makes it really warming on a cold winter day

  This soup was nice but as much as I like cumin, I found it a bot too 'cuminy' with 1 whole teaspoon of cumin seeds. I will make it again but with half that amount. Also found it essential to add twice the amount of stock. I like a thick soup but I could have stood my spoon up in it before I doubled the stock.

  Very nice soup - made it as a starter for Xmas day. My guests didn't expect the chilli in it and they loved it with some home made bread.

  I found this quite lacking in flavour; despite adding a stick of celery and some corriander seeds as well as the fresh corriander. I will try again adding some more onions and see if that improves its depth.

  This is a yummy soup, i added another cup full of water when blended so wasn't as thick. Didn't need hardly any salt and pepper. I also used cumin powder, just a teaspoon and worked well, also added 1 garlic clove.

  Delicious! Made it as a starter for a dinner party and the results were amazing. Next time I might top it with toasted pumpkin seeds, just for the texture and visual appeal

  Really nice soup, added finely chopped fresh ginger and garlic which gave it added flavour......there's some simmering away as I write.

  Scrumptious, will be making this again. Didn't have cumin seeds, used ground cumin and it worked very well.

  Cheap to make. Very filling. Delicious! This was EVEN TASTIER than my favourite Covent Garden brand. Changes: I used frozen carrots (instead of fresh) and butter (instead of olive oil).

  SO EASY! The whole family loved this soup - even my husband who likes meat in every dish he eats. I doubled all the quantities and it was even tastier the next day! Definitely will be using this one again!!

  This was the perfect soup to have on a cold winter's evening! Followed the recipe exactly, doubled all the ingredients and it tasted AMAZING! I added 3 fresh chilies and it really tasted fantastic! So quick as well. Will be making again!

  Made this today and it was so simple! It turned out too thick, so I think I added closer to a litre of stock, it worked really well though, and it's delicious, mmm ^ ^

  Love this! I added a potato at the beginning which I cooked with the cumin for a few minutes before adding the carrots along with about 250ml extra stock to make it go further. I also added ground coriander and ground cumin as well as the cumin seeds for extra flavour and left out the fresh coriander at the end. Perfect with a chunk of warm crusty bread. I had this as comfort food whilst suffering with a cold!
